The Game Gripper Gives Your Android Phone a Gamepad
Posted in: droid, gaming, Phones, Tech Toys, Today's Chili, video games
If you have a Motorola Droid, a Motorola BackFlip, or an LG Ally, and you love to play video games on your phone, you’ll want to get your hands on the Game Gripper. It’s an attachment for the keyboard of your phone that turns it into a full gamepad, complete with directional pad and discrete buttons for different actions. The buttons on the Game Gripper match up with individual buttons on your phone’s keyboard, so you can map them to functions in your favorite game and then attach the game gripper to play.
Each button has a discrete switch under it so you’re not pressing two buttons on your keyboard with one press on the Game Gripper. The Game Gripper fits snugly over your phone’s keyboard, and is designed for people who want to load up an emulator on their phone and play some old NES and SNES games.
Right now the Droid, BackFlip, and Ally are the only supported phones, but the creators are working on models for the Devour and N900, and welcome requests for additional phones. The Game Gripper comes in a number of colors and styles, and retails for $14.99. You can buy additional buttons for $3.99.
